The representatives of the Ministry of the Interior and the Commissioner for Prizes joined in my opinion the other departments of Dr. Köllner's opinion. The next day, Secretary of State Dr. Syrup took part in the hearing. He explained that Field Marshal-General Göring had demanded in the General Council that 1.2 million Poles, apart from the 300,000 Polish prisoners of war already present in the Reich, be transferred to the farms of the Old Reich. There was agreement that Czechs and Poles would have to be paid lower in the Empire than the German workers. In agriculture, this already occurred during the 1 5th of January, when the wage was so low that the Czechs and Poles would be left with a maximum of 20 RM per month for dispatch to their families in the Protectorate or in the Government. In the commercial economy, the aim was to allow equal wages for Germans, Czechs and Poles, but by doing so the Polish and Czechs would be worse off by collecting the single tax from the married and the single with a lump sum ofloo%.The incoming amounts would be used to build up the new territories. Moreover, Czechs and Poles would be identified as such in the Reich. leluotr
